Seen some clips from that interview. Doesn’t look like they edited it to make her look good….

[LJ]

She didn't answer a single question put to her; she just kept talking without answering. Just offering totally benign word salads and saying nothing of substance. I think Bret Baier is one of the most unbiased reporters on Fox, and anyone is welcome on his show.

Amsterdam banned demonstrations for three days from Friday while giving police emergency stop-and-search powers after overnight attacks on Israeli soccer supporters, as the government in Tel Aviv said it would fly many fans home.

 

Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema said Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters were "attacked, abused and pelted with fireworks" by what she described as "antisemitic hit-and-run squads," and that riot police had to intervene several times to protect them and escort them to hotels.

Politician Geert Wilders, head of the largest party in the Dutch government, said he was "ashamed that this can happen in the Netherlands."

In a vitriolic post on the social media platform X, he blamed "criminal Muslims" and said they should be deported.

Hamas spokesperson Abu Zuhri, in a statement, said "the Amsterdam incidents confirm that the ongoing genocide in Gaza, broadcast live without international action to halt it and hold those responsible accountable, can lead to such spontaneous reactions."

Transgender Americans are bracing for attacks from the White House and in their own neighbourhoods after Donald Trump's U.S. election victory Tuesday, following a presidential campaign that promoted anti-trans rhetoric.

 

Trump repeatedly made false claims about trans people in speeches, while his presidential campaign spent millions on campaign ads with anti-trans messaging, despite trans people making up less than one per cent of the U.S. population.

Power couple Zooey Zephyr and Erin Reed are spreading hope to fellow transgender people

 

Zooey Zephyr and Erin Reed walk hand in hand at a Pride parade in the college town of Missoula, Montana, wearing smiles as sunny as the day is rainy. Adoring fans cheer them along the route.

 

Reed stops and raises a small Pride flag. Zephyr cups her hands together in a heart over her chest in appreciation. Zephyr, a transgender state lawmaker, later gives a speech to hundreds attending the event. Tears well in people’s eyes as they speak with the couple afterward.

 

Sage Scarborough hugs a book and grins after getting Zephyr’s autograph.

 

“I feel like it makes us as a generation feel represented when we have people like her in power and up there giving very inspirational, motivational words of wisdom,” says Scarborough, 20.

 

 

Zephyr and Reed, both 34, have emerged as a vanguard, a power couple spreading hope to fellow transgender people amid a year in which hundreds of bills were proposed or passed that restrict their rights in health care and other realms. Their appearances at Pride events this month throughout the country replicate scenes like the one in Missoula.

Congrats, but calling sex changes for minors “health care” is why there are problems brewing. Stop lying and we can get back to what pride was about. Freedom to be who you are….

What are the private flights of the 1% doing to the planet? The numbers are in

Some who use private jets could be producing roughly 500 times more CO2 in a year than the average person

Ah but you have to get the the very very very bottom of the article to discover private jets are only 1.8% of aviation emissions.

So the top 1% emits 2x the jet emissions, per person.

Leonardo DiCaprio won’t be talking about that at his next climate summit, I don’t think.

Kamala paid celebrities millions to promote her. That’s their job. They are paid to be good liars. In the olden days that was more contained in the realms of theatrical mediums. Now that the medium is blended with reality their job remains the same.

The Freak Offs have so much scathing materials on so many people that they do what they are told to do.

 

The best line I heard all election was the Democratic Party became a Diddy party.

Do you fly? If you do, why? Do you pay for the option of carbon offsets that are offered?

 

I fly. It is the only way to get to visit family. No I do not pay for carbon offsets.

The Americans want to rename Saskatchewan North Dakota North. Manitoba will just join Minnesota to save on printing costs.

Maybe we would be protected by the Douglas treaty too?

[Mike K.]

Douglas was cancelled, so I guess that cancelled the treaty.

When was he cancelled? He was a humanitarian. You thinking Macdonald?
